So for those of us who are fairly new with the Watercooled scene, why would you get these instead of buying the replacement mounts you can get for 1/3 price and install them yourself to the existing dogbone?

cause most the time the ones you fit your self are to hard, these density line mounts are the ducks nuts as far as a whole unit goes, and they are 1 of only a few who make the side mounts aswell.

because the oem mounts are rubber and deteriorate over time.

because they are as soft as marshmellows they absorb a lot of the power instead of putting it on the road.

its like your car gains 5kw and this is no joke!

I know that the OEM mounts use a very soft rubber insert and deteriorate.

My question was besides the ease of installation, why would you spend $100 on this as opposed to just replacing your OEM dogbone with new rubber/stronger inserts? I mean, the arm is basically the same, but it's the rubber bush that is different, right?

cos theyre softer than other aftermarket solutions so have less chance of causing extra vibration

correct but thats how they make them unfortunately u have to buy the arm and bush together. If i could buy just the bush i would but INA are the only company that make a 50a rated bush whilest the other companies make inserts rated at 70a.

Its still ok for $100 u get a new arm where tuners like APR sell just the bushes at $100

Do these things need to be replaced regularly?

and the after market ones you fit yourself are like $60.00 or was when i bought some. $100.00 i thought that was a good price man times are tough.

Thank you. That is exactly what I was wondering.

I'd like to get one of these but it's a bad time of the year for cash! Will try my best to squeeze one into the budget. I'm sick of my car lurching like a mad-man between changing gears.
